Chapter 511 Twenty-four hours before the game
Countdown to the UEFA Cup final.
The last day before the game.
Istanbul, a famous tourist city, is like a bottle of canned sardines these days. Tens of thousands of fans from both sides have dressed up this famous Turkish city as a holy place of red and black!
According to the statistics of Turkey's tourism department, the number of fans who came to Istanbul for the heavyweight league cup final has far exceeded the number of people in the Champions League final of the 04-05 season!
Morning.
At ten o'clock sharp, more than 300 reporters took AC Milan's five-star hotel, where the Rossoneri held the last press conference before the game. Ancelotti appeared in the press conference hall with youngsters Nicholas Gigi and David Beckham.
It has long been doomed. The 08-09 season is another season for madman Lee. However, any topic about madman Li will attract hundreds of millions of eyes and hundreds of millions of attention. Nicholas Gigi, David Beckham, one of whom is a madman Li, was promoted from the unknown reserve team. The super newcomer king, one is the old emperor who was elected by the madman Li Dingli to the top of the world's football. There is an indescribable and complicated relationship between the madman Li, whether it is personal friends or cooperation on the court!
After AC Milan arrived in Istanbul, countless media and countless reporters wanted to conduct a special interview with an old man and a young man. They wanted to know what kind of mentality they would have to complete the game after they met the 'master' madman Li on the battlefield... And today, Ancelotti brought the two at the same time. The press conference is obviously to satisfy the curiosity of fans and the media. In terms of dealing with the media, Fatty An obviously likes to please the media more than the mysterious madman Li.
... In the noisy crowd of reporters, there is a snow-and-snowing Chinese girl who is eye-catching, with a CCTV work permit hanging on her chest.
The girl's name is Zhao Weina.
Zhao Weina is an intern reporter who has newly joined CCTV Sports Channel. She came to Turkey to cover and report on the UEFA Cup. It was the first time that the beautiful Jiangnan girl who graduated from Central Sports University took on the task of interviewing abroad. This task made the 22-year-old girl so excited that she couldn't sleep for several consecutive nights!
Three years ago, when Zhao Weina was a sophomore, a stagnant pool of Chinese football suddenly had a 'unrivaled hero' - when the young man who seemed to be not much different from his age stood in front of the head coach of Real Madrid, at the beginning, everyone thought This is another April Fool's Day farce. Zhao Weina and many of her classmates once angrily denounced the distortion and irresponsibility of Chinese media reports... However, when this seemingly absurd news was spread by many European authoritative media, and when the official website of Real Madrid Chinese also issued a special announcement to confirm, The whole of China is boiling!
Zhao Weina clearly remembers that when she finally confirmed that the young figure who appeared in front of the coach of the century giant Real Madrid was really a Chinese who was almost as old as herself, her heart suddenly beat at an unprecedented rhythm!
At that time, almost 1.2 billion Chinese people were talking about the news that a young man named Li Tongfan was in charge of Real Madrid. Even CCTV's news broadcast exceptionally reported this news in nearly a minute. Zhao Weina and many young people Like a fan, I fell in love with this peer almost in an instant... After a period of ecstasy, many people began to reflect calmly. They were so young, without any teaching experience or outstanding achievements... All the reality seems to indicate that this young man named Li Tongfan will face no It's imaginable. Real Madrid's locker room is also a famous 'contradiction camp'. Can those superstars in football be willing to obey his command?
At that time, countless Chinese people, even if not fans, were worried about the madman Li Daye, for fear that the young man who created the miracle of Chinese football would become the biggest joke of Chinese football and the biggest joke in world football... Zhao Weina was one of the many fans who worried about Li Tongfan, and Like most people around her, this sophomore girl is like a lover who cares about her, always paying attention to any news about Li Tongfan on the Internet!
In the following year, the whole world knew this guy named madman Li, and the worship of Li Tongfan by fans in China was almost the peak. Looking up, no one among the Chinese stars in the world could cover the light of madman Li!
At this time, Zhao Vina, a junior in the College of Physical Education, quietly took becoming a football reporter as her career plan. She vowed to use her report to send all the information of the madman Li to China... After that, everything after that developed in the direction Zhao Weina expected. After graduation, she used the strength of her family. If you want to enter CCTV Sports Channel, the most authoritative sports reporting group in China, and the first task received was to interview the League Cup final led by the madman Li, which was his long-awaited opportunity!
After coming to Istanbul, Zhao Weina was disappointed that his idol madman Li had been fully closed to the team, so that countless reporters, including him, could only stop outside the big wall of the training ground every day, and could not get any useful news at all... Today, AC Milan held the final before the game. At a press conference, Gigi and Beckham attended the press conference, which made Zhao Weina, who was familiar with every story of the madman Li, suddenly feel that this was actually a very good opportunity!
... "Mr. Ancelotti, will Mr. David and Mr. Nicholas get a chance to play for tomorrow's game?"
The press conference began in the most normal way. Ancelotti did not have any tone deafness at all, but gave a positive answer to this question raised by the reporter of Milan Sport.
Fatty An's nod made the reporters boil. Before that, everyone was worried that Beckham or Jiji could not get a chance to appear. In that case, the hyped 'master-apprentice battle' would actually exist... Next, Ancelotti became a supporting role, and the reporters transferred the subject of the question to Jiji and Bei. It was Zhao Weina, a reporter from CCTV, who was the first to ask about Kerham. With the rise of the madman Li, Chinese journalists can always be respected by their peers on such occasions!
"...Gigi, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on defeating Mario Balotelli and teammate Pato of Inter Milan and being the best newcomer in Serie A this season. I would like to ask, in the face of such an important game, which side do you hope to win the final victory? "
Zhao Weina's problem is very tricky.
After half a year of training in Serie A, the 18-year-old Gigi exudes youthfulness all over his body, and his soft long hair hangs under his ears again. He belongs to a typical English man. Some media call it 'George Best second' or 'Beckham' second, not without It makes sense... In the face of the difficulties of Chinese reporters, Jiji seemed very polite. After thanking Zhao Weina's congratulations, he showed a charming smile on his face: "The finals are very important to both sides. As Mr. Rice Bucket's player, I certainly hope that he can get all the championships he needs. Military trophy, but when I appear on the court in a red and black robe, I will do my best to help the team win! How to become a real professional football player, Mr. Rice Bucket asked me a long time ago..."
Jiji's answer won the applause of the reporters at the scene.
Ancelotti looked at the high-spirited teenager in front of him and was still thinking about how to persuade the boss to take him to San Siro after the end of the season. He scored 9 assists in 18 league goals in half a season, and handed over such a Serie A debut at the age of 18, which was already a performance at the level of the emperor's superstar... And Baker While Ham secretly gave a thumbs up to little Jiji, he was also in a trance in front of him. On this teenager, he saw himself who had emerged many years ago, the same young, the same handsome, and the same love!
In the applause, Zhao Weina threw the second question to Beckham - "David, we know that during the winter transfer period of this season, you encountered a little difficulty in Real Madrid. At that time, many Chinese fans hoped that you could join Mr. Li Tongfan again. Why did you choose AC Milan in the end? What about Newcastle instead? Is it because Newcastle can't pay your high salary?
The reporters around them looked at Zhao Weina and asked two such sharp questions in a row. If they had been someone else, they would have been rejected by the press officer or the player himself, but... However, who let others be the compatriots of the madman Li? Who let Xiaobei and Ji thank the madman Li? What about it?
Beckham did not mean to be impatient at all. He smiled and said, "The transfer involves a lot of factors, and commercial factors must be considered. However, Lee did not send an invitation at that time, because Newcastle's lineup has been able to meet Lee's plans for the whole season, Juan Mata and Andre Arsha. Wen is enough to support the two wings of the team... Moreover, for me, joining AC Milan is also a dream. Milan is a great club, and it is my honor to play in San Siro..."
"What's the next game?"
"Like Gigi, I will go all out. This is the basic professional ethics of a professional football player!"
...AC Milan's last pre-match press conference was quickly reported, in which the two questions asked by Zhao Vina were infinitely enlarged - Italian media - "Nicholas Gigi is willing to do everything for Milan, hinting that he is willing to stay in San Siro forever"
"Gigi is grateful to the madman Li, but the atmosphere of Milan makes him nostalgic"
"Suspend renewal with Newcastle, Milan may have a chance to get a young genius"
"Beckham mocks that Newcastle has no money, Milan is greater than magpie"
"Gigi and Beckham are unanimously optimistic that Milan will win the championship!"
The report of the English media is completely the opposite - "Gigi is eager to return to St. James, Crazy Lee is the greatest mentor"
"Beckham regrets that he failed to join Newcastle"
"Newcastle has a better chance of winning, Beckham said"
"Failing with Newcastle, under a lot of pressure"
